Palms Fish Camp Boat Ramp
6359 Heckscher Drive
Jacksonville, FL 32226

Managed by; Dept. of Parks Jacksonville

Palms Fish Camp offers a concrete ramp 22 feet in width at the mouth of Clapboard Creek into the St Johns River and offers; Floating courtesy docks about 325 feet in length, parking for about 30-35 boat trailers ( hard to determine due to the parking area to the right as you enter is rather scattered. ). No ramp supplied restrooms at this location. The best information I could find on the Hecksher Drive bridge clearance was 8.2 feet at a standrard MHW. Please do your own on site verification. It also appears FDOT is proposing replacing this bridge as of 2025.
